    Need help with water flow on my display. Begginer here.

The tank dimensions are 50 × 45 × 35 cm (20G). I keep only soft corals and LPS, so I need low to moderate flow. As a detail, I use the return pump...

    Fluctuating Water Level in Sock Chamber. Suggestions?

    I have a 90 gallon Pro Star AIO that we filled up for the first time earlier this week. We cannot get the water level in the filter sock chamber to stay at a consistent level.

    Vortech MP40 upgrade

    So a while back I purchased a used MP40. Prior to that I had a MP10QD. The MP40 was significantly noisier. I upgraded the driver to the QD driver. That helped out a lot, but not enough. My question is would upgrading the wet side to the newer version be the next logical step as far as noise...

    Breathing, we take it for granted.

    Ok the title seems to be misplaced but before you switch to a different thread read this quote.

    Biocube 32 Filtration

    So I have a LED Biocube 32. I am using the stock filtration basket for now. My question is how high should the water be in the back. I see on the 29's there was a high water mark, however my 32 only has a min mark. I filled the back and my media kept floating and I noticed that defeated the...

    Power head flow tricks?

    Does anyone have a trick to see how your tank is flowing with your powerhead locations? I watched a video were someone put glitter in there tank with only water in it. This was cool but probably not a good idea for a set up display tank. Any Ideas?
